awesome teacher

Good teacher-hard---just answer all test questions with her words not yours

If you don't know your stuff exactly the way she says it you don't have a chance. Don't even bother taking the course if your not prepared for definition, short answer, and essay tests. Very Helpful. Clear and to the point. Study or you'll be embarrassed.

Helpful if you go to her office, but intimidating in class. Must know things word for word. Hates men with a passion. If you ask a ? in class she will make you feel stupid. Annoying voice. Does clearly present info with good examples.

she is really fair and she will help you out as much as she can, if you go to her office hours. her class is no joke, you need to study for it! she is very clear on what you need to know as well, just go to class and take great notes.

She is real tough on you, but she is very fair and very clear. Just study the notes but pay attention tot he definitions word for word. You'll be fine.

Great Professor, she will go out of her way anytime to help anyone if you go to see her. Tests are hard as hell, but she will tell you everything that you need to know. Know the defintions word for word

My favorite teacher in all of my time at WCU... because i learned so much, and i still remember all of the info from that class til this day.Tests are long and kinda hard, but if you study the info given, you will do fine.

Bar none the best crj professor i ever had.

she is very tough and makes you work for your grade but leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment.you learn alot.she is very lively with her stories.she doesnt hate men.she is one of those teachers that wants you to do well only if you work for it.

This teacher is ridiculously hard. For the first time students taking her, you will take this course again!!! Ask her all the questions, study all the notes but you will still fail miserably!!

She is no joke but is a GREAT Prof. You have to take ALOT of notes, her tests are all essay & she wants things written EXACTLY. If you attend class & take GREAT notes, you can pass. Her teaching style really makes the info come to life. She is also very helpful, but you have to go to her.

Really is a fantastic professor. YOU WILL HAVE TO WORK. Excellent preparation for grad school. Don't worry if you have to take the class again (most do). Know EVERY WORD that she says for the test. For essays on test: be very clear and CONCISE. will lose points on the essays and short answer.

There is a thing called work and thats what you have to do for this class. best professor so far. she doesnt mess around. you really need to participate and attend every class. so many kids have to take it two times but thats just stupid. everyone should pass first time if they really try.

Greatest Prof i have ever taken..tough class, she gets to the point..most of what comes outta her mouth is meaningful!write down everything that she spits out of her mouth..im not kidding!she prepares u only for the best!always study weeks in advance for her tests not last minute..chances r ull fail

This is the hardest class you will ever take. I was scared out of my mind to take it, but I am so happy that I took it with her. She is the best teacher I have ever had. She will make you learn something and know it forever. Remember her office hours are always there, I suggest going, asking man

the hardest class at west chester. also the best teacher i ever had though. study everything that is on the study guides word for word and all the examples from class and the class will be easier and also do not miss a single class.

Hardest class I took at WCU - but also the best class. This is meant to prepare you for the real world people - police, law school, whatever you do. Study hard and stop whining. Her antics are done for a reason - to get her point across and help you learn. She only wants the students to succeed.

This is by far the best teacher I've ever had. She's tough, but as long as you write down everything she says, attend class & study your butt off, you'll be fine. Remember to ask questions & participate & to study the examples she went over in class!

This class is a definite change. No tests, but instead you have to write 6 article reviews and week and do an hour presentation. The class is all based on group discussion rather than a lecture setting. The material is definitely interesting and the speakers are enjoyable.

ok stop freaking out. because i know all of you think shes this crazy ****, but really it was one of the best classes ive had here. I think shes awesome. as long as you memorize, youll do fine. its really not THAT bad!

One of the best, most straight-forward teachers I've ever had at West Chester. I can't even understand why some people have trouble with her, it's not even hard. She wants everyone to learn, and will fail you if you don't - and I think that's very fair. Just go to class and memorize your notes word for word and you'll be fine.

This is a really good professor!! You just have to memorize every single word that comes out of her mouth cus u'll see it again!!! If she says its important...MEMORIZE IT WORD FOR WORD! pay attn to all the stories where she kills her husband cus the story may be used later

Let the guessing games begin! Because if you dont answer her questions, she will wait all class. She is fair, but it is true, you must memorize evrything she says and all her notes to even pass. If your word for word memory is not up to par, practice!

She's not kidding when she says to start studying a couple of weeks before the exams. Show up to class! It's hard to catch up if you're absent. Participate a lot-it helps your final grade.

It may be a difficult course, but i think she makes it so easy to understand what the book has a hard time explaining. Read the book. Go to class. Memorize what she says and you will do fine. No matter what your grade ends up being, you will know the material. She drills it into you.

Extremely hard tests. You will need to go over the material every day. Take it very seriously. Tests are cumulative. Enjoyable class most of the time, though. She's had a lot of experience and knows what she is talking about. I've had to take it twice myself.

SHE IS INCREDIBLY HARD! BUT SHE WILL MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF! A "HARDASS" TEACHER BUT SHE WILL GO TO BAT FOR YOU IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE, AND WILL PROVIDE SOUND ADVICE ON ACHIEVING SUCCESS! she has her own opinions and she will make them known but don't let it get to you. stand your ground and support your position and she will respect you.

Extremely hard teacher and class but if you study hard and pay attention in class and write down everything she says you should at least get a C. She does not give eny help with grades though so what you earn is what you earn

Her test are not just hard to pass,but its impossible to pass. she will make sure you take the calss twice,which i think is a good busniss for school,her tests are made for law school students not for criminal jutice student,

i agree with everything the person before me said. she's very tough but you got to study like hell to pass. you do learn a lot, that's for sure. it really help to participate in class so she remembers your name. literally know the material and you can't BS her at all on the tests [do the essays first because they're worth more]

By far the toughest class I have taken in my almost 4 years of college. She will teach you the material and make it very clear if you show up so attendance is key. Take notes, type them up, and study them every night. Got an A after a lot of work and studying. Be careful what you say if you're not a liberal though.

I took her twice,the first time after not passing her, I hated her, but second time when I took her I came to relalize that she is really helpfull and tries her best to help her students, I learn a lot from her class she knows her stuff,but her tests are WOW I spent every day in the library just studyin for her class, you can not B.S in her tests!

She is a really good teacher in the way that she makes you know the material. Study harder then you ever have before, until you feel like your brain will explode and you will pass

Very interesting class. Learned a lot from taking it with her. She is tough, so ask questions and make sure you understand the material. Study hard, and memorize. Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Kuaffman is a hard techer I will say that but she is passable. Go to class, participate, and STUDY, I mean S-T-U-D-Y!! and you'll pass. I managed a B-

I LOVE HER! EVERYONE SAYS SHES MEAN AND EVIL BUT HELLO SHE IS A LAWYER! HER LECTURES ARE AWESOME BECAUSE SHE GIVES YOU REAL LIFE SCENARIOS TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE MATERIAL. YOU WILL NOT PASS IF YOU DO NOT TAKE KEEN NOTES,STUDY EXTREMELY HARD, AND ATTEND CLASS. SHE IS NOT ONE FOR THE BS! LEARNED A LOT FROM HER. SHE IS GREAT.

OK she is a hard teacher. I would start to study 2 weeks in advance. Make sure you write down word for word what she says, makes it so much easier in the end. Never miss class and just pay attention the class is very interesting and you learn so much

Law is a really hard class if you dont put the time into it, Kauffman pretty much gives you most if not everything you need to do well in her class but you have to put the time in and study well in advance for her exams or you will be screwed. The woman knows her stuff and has seen and done a lot. If nothing you learn a whole lot in only 15 weeks

Very easy professor. All you have to do is go to class and take good notes and you'll get an A. Just memorize everything word for word and you'll do great. No slacking allowed.

If you're looking for an easy class this is NOT it. If you want to learn a lot about Law- this is perfect for you. Her lectures are extremely important. You cannot miss a single class. Your note taking must be extremely keen, and you will want to pay close attention to the examples she gives. Yes her tests are HARD but they do CHALLANGE you!

Best class I have ever had at WCU. Dr. Kauffman makes class interesting and you will learn a lot. How to get an A: Go to every class, write down everything she says even if it may not sound important, make note cards for every definition/rule/ or concept that she gives you and memorize them WORD FOR WORD. I kind of want to be a lawyer now.

Even though professor kauffman is tough, she is a great teacher. Definatly my favorite professor yet. She makes class interesting I had her for criminal law and interpersonal relations. She is actually a really caring person. She made me want to be a lawyer. LOVE HER!!!!!!!

Dr.Kauffman is an extremely smart woman and very interesting. She makes her opinion know which can we a little annoying if you don't agree with her. Best advice is to study literally everything that comes out of her mouth.

YOU NEED TO :: go to class, write down everything she says, start studying weeks before the exam, and know the definitionselements WORD FOR WORD. She gives you all the materials you need to do well, so use them and stop complaining about how hard it is. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn. I ended up getting an A.

The class itself is very easy and straightforward. It is almost like a therapy session once a week. You meet good people, like really get to meet them on a personal level. HOWEVER, this class is the most writing intensive class I have ever taken even more than a writing emphasis (don't know why it isn't). Do not take with more than 15 credits.

Dr. Kauffman is an extremely helpful professor. She was so willing to work with me when I was nervous about the tests. She is a completely different person during her office hours as opposed to in the classroom. She's more laid back&welcoming in her office. You need to go to class&write everything she says. Participate and study weeks in advance!

This class is not as bad as everyone says. Dr. Kauffman is one of the best professors that I have ever had. There are three test which are 90% of our grade and the 10% comes from participation. You must participate and read because it will help you in the end. Stay on top of everything and study well for each examine. You will learn a lot!

1. Show up to every class. 2. Take exceptional notes. (This is 95% of the class) 3. Study those notes 2 weeks before test. 4. YMMV, but that should insure an A or B.
